FAN ATTACHMENT FOR ROCKING-CHAIRS.

v To all w hom z't may concern:

' Be it known thatI, J ossr lVEsorY, a subject of the Czar of vRussia, residentof 'Kenosha, county of Kenosha and State of Wisconsin, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Fan Attachments I for Rocking-Chairs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements 1n rocking chairs and has asits principal object the provision of means whereby air currents may be. produced and delivered upon the person using-the chair.-

' 7 Another object is to provide means which operate automatically and. without any "physical effort on the'part of the user.

,These objects areattai'ned by the novel design, construction and combination of partshereafter described and shown m the 20- accompanying drawings, forming a mate-' rial part of this specification, and 1n wh1ch:

Figure 1 is a, perspective view showing a chair in which the inventionis embodied. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken through the rocker and chairsupports substantially on line 22 of Fig. 1. 7'

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an applicator or head, and V 7 Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 44 of Fig, 2.

The chair shown is to all appearances that of ordinary construction except that on one side the rocker 10 has engaged with it a similarly shaped additional hollow rocker element 11, the reinforcements, 12 and 13. of the legs on. the same side also being hollow.

In the recess 15 in the element 11 is a lever'16 pivoted at its center upon the pin I "17 which extends through the sideof the rocker, the lever having equal arms and carrying. pins 18 and 19 at its" extremities, 'respectlvely at the front and rear of the Copies of tliis patent may be obtained for being operable in the slot 83 formed in the bottom of the rocker. and in such; manner that as the chair is rocked forward the rod 20 "will be pressed upwardly compressing the bellows E28, and whenthe chair is rocked Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Feb. 19, 1918. Application filed March 2, 1917. Serial No. 152,147.

'ment 11 are two projections 32, the same backward the projection-fatthe opposite end;

of he leier raises the rod .21 compressing the bellows 29 which are providedwith in-' let valves 35 upon their lowersidesand outlet pipes 36 upon'their upper sides, which may be led to any desired point as into the header 38 in the back of the chair or similar headers arranged uponthe arms or other convenient point so as to dehver a current of air upon the person sitting in the chair.

Thus without effort a person may, in using the chair and giving it rocking motion,-be able to produce a current of air which will drive away flies and produce a cooling blast rendering the user comfortable.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a chair of the class described, the combination with a hollow rocker, and a pair of hollow legs, of a lever mounted to oscillate therein, projections extending downward from said lever through said rocker, arms extending upward from the ends of said lever through the legs of the chair, a

pair of bellows having reciprocable heads, 7

said heads being-engaged with said arms, and pipesadapted to convey away the air currents therefrom. V

In testimony whereof I have ailiXed my signaturethis 10th davof February, 1917 .JOSEF W'ESOTY.
